A Holocaust survivor and his family travel to former concentration camps throughout Europe and dance to Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive".  They don't dance well, but that's not the point, really.  It's a tribute to the tenacity of the human spirit.

From treadmills to Rube Goldberg-like machines, you're always going to enjoy an OK Go video.  The one common theme about their videos — they were all shot in one continuous shot.
